The difference between the mouse and this hover touch is that, with a mouse you don't need to move the mouse to click a button. Movement and clicking (or activating) are independent of the other.

With hover touch, they aren't. You'll be moving while you're trying to 'activate' a command. Perhaps if you could use it two handed, that would eliminate that issue.

You can highlight text and that by hovering, and that's good and all.

When you move your finger to the screen to press a button, you'd need to be careful not to highlight anything else while you're moving your finger to the screen. Maybe with two hands that wouldn't be a problem..

But it seems with this tech you still need to touch the screen anyway.. So, seems a bit useless to me.

That`s what I call trolling.

FloatingTouch works like a charm, there is some real life reviews already, just wach them before you denied it`s efficiency.
With ICS this tech will be incorporated deeper into the UI and with more developers into it this could easily become a must have tech. Well it could stay as gimmick as well, we`ll see...

Looks to be a gorgeous phone but this hover thingo but be a too complicated. ofcoarse il be eager to try it out for myself and hope i get proved wrong becoz the idea opens up a whole new world of apps.

i dont see how you could "easily activate things by mistake" when hovering only acts as a cursor highlighting items on the screen, you still will need to touch the screen to click, this hovering could indeed revolutionize touch screens.
